so i was looking into buying a dual battery adapter for my VXL3s in my 1/10 slash could i run 12 or 14 cells NIMH with it or would it risk breaking or blowing it up?

Vxl-3s is 3s max. And even then......... I had vxl ecs(s) 2007-2011. I had 3 styles of vxl, if they didnt glitch or stop, I liquified some. I had one shoot black goo on the inside of my body.
Thats one reason why I have an aluminum chassis.
Some castles can do 4s in a 1/10 system.

The voltage of a battery pack is determined by how many cells it has. A single NiMH cell delivers 1.2 volts, and NiMH batteries are most commonly offered with six or seven cells. These may be referred to as “6-cell” and “7-cell” packs or they may be referred to by their voltage: 7.2 volts and 8.4 volts (since 6 x 1.2 = 7.2, and 7 x 1.2 = 8.4).
It’s different with LiPos. The principle is the same, but since a single LiPo cell delivers 3.7 volts, LiPo packs have fewer cells for a given voltage. The most common configurations are 2-cell, 7.4-volt packs (2 x 3.7 = 7.4) and 3-cell, 11.1V packs. Depending on your model and how much voltage it can handle, you may even be able to use 4, 5, or 6-cell packs—again, check those power-system specs!
According to the above information you can get the idea.
